If you don't have cellular on you watch, it will connect with your nearby iPhone for phone calls and messages.

SE 2nd Gen Watch - vs watch with Cellular I am currently looking into buying a SE 2nd Gen Watch. The cellular one cost more and will add an additional $100 a year to my phone plan which is having me lean towards the SE watch without cellular. My main question is - can I use texts and calling features as long as my phone js within range? Or are calls and texts only for the watches that have the cellular thing installed?
